Extra Information

To maximize graphical fidelity, quality mode uses hardware Lumen for more accurate reflections than even regular Lumen, including on water, whereas performance mode uses SSR. Quality mode also runs Lumen GI at a higher setting (more detailed and updates more often), has full-res volumetric fog/skin shading/ambient occlusion, has higher quality shadow filtering, and more NPCs animate at full quality. Both modes, however, have the same draw distance, textures/foliage/materials quality, shadow res, and effects. Finally, while both modes upscale to 4K via TSR, quality mode's higher internal ceiling of around 1660p results in a sharper overall image.
